Notice of Prospective Extension of Exclusive Patent License

    This is notice in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 (c)(1) and (d) and 
37 CFR 404.7 (a)(1)(i) and (b)(1)(i) that the National Technical 
Information Service (NTIS), U.S. Department of Commerce, is 
contemplating extending its grant of an exclusive license in the United 
States of America and certain foreign countries to practice the 
inventions embodied in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,311,826 (Ser. No. 6-085,450) 
and 4,391,969 (Ser. No. 6-266,484) to Martin Resources, Inc., having a 
place of business in Kilgore, Texas. The patent rights in these 
inventions have been assigned to the United States of America.
    The prospective extension of the exclusive license will include 
royalty terms and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license 
extension may be granted unless, within 60 days from the date of this 
published notice, NTIS receives written evidence and argument which 
establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with 
the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
    The respective inventions expressed in the patents cited above 
describe: (1) A modified sulfur cement comprising the polymeric 
reaction product of elemental sulfur and a cyclopentadiene oligomer 
containing reactant; cement compositions can be formulated by blending 
an aggregate material with the modified sulfur cement; and (2) a 
modified sulfur cement formulation, comprising the polymeric reaction 
product of sulfur with a cyclopentadiene oligomerdicyclopentadiene 
containing modifier in which the cyclopentadiene oligomer content of 
said modifier is at least 37 wt. %, the sulfur cement product having a 
softening point ranging up to 116  deg.C.
    The availability of the inventions for licensing were published in 
Federal Register notices on April 27, 1982, Vol. 47, No. 81, p. 18019 
and October 16, 1985, Vol. 50, No. 200, p. 41931, the latter in the 
form of a notice of ``intent to grant a license.'' Copies of the 
instant U.S. patents are available from the Commissioner of Patents and 
Trademarks, Box 9, Washington, DC at a cost of $3.00 each.
    Any inquiries and comments relating to the contemplated license 
must be submitted to Neil L. Mark, Office of Federal Patent Licensing, 
NTIS, Box 1423, Springfield, Virginia 22151. Properly filed competing 
license applications received by the NTIS in response to this notice 
will be considered as objections to the grant of the contemplated 
license.

Director, Office of Federal Patent Licensing.
